Information on Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as 'Google'.

Google Analytics uses so-called 'cookies', which are text files stored on the computer of the site visitor that enable an analysis of the visitor’s use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. .

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension '_anonymizeIp()' on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. The IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. .

The interests of the users are sufficiently safeguarded through the pseudonymization.

Google LLC provides a guarantee based on standard contractual clauses to maintain an adequate level of data protection.

For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there. Your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
